Portovenere: Boat cruise to discover its islands｜Italy

We will set off for the archipelago aboard my "Blue Taurus," a typical 5-meter Ligurian gozzo boat, a symbol of seafaring in these waters. Once we leave the harbor, you can admire the town of Portovenere from the sea, the pearl of the Gulf of Poets and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its typical colorful tower houses and the small church of San Pietro perched on the cliff. Continuing on, we will begin to explore the archipelago, with its three islands with high cliffs: Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. You will see Torre Scola, an ancient ruined fortress in the middle of the sea, and we will continue along the coast to discover hidden coves and ravines, where you can dive in for a refreshing swim and snorkel in the turquoise and crystal-clear waters of these beautiful islands. Tino will show you its lighthouse, while you discover the legend of St. Venerius, the island's patron saint, who rests under the ruins of his monastery. Continuing towards Tinetto, we will reach the statue of Stella Maris, the Virgin Mary, perched on a rock in the middle of the sea, like a solitary guardian. Sailing under the high cliffs of these islands, you can admire their caves, then conclude the tour by returning to Portovenere.
